切韻音系聲母的內部構擬

Internal Reconstruction of the Initial System of Qieyun

本文認為《切韻》是整合六朝時代（約三至六世紀之間）漢語方言的「通變系統」，《韻鏡》以表格呈現為有條理的系統。本文運用互補分布關係的「空音填補」將此「通變系統」整理為26個聲母，並利用「意涵普遍性」原理擬訂其音讀。本文認為此反映「前中古」時代的聲母系統。

Qieyun 切韻 integrates Chinese dialects of the Six Dynasties era (about 3^rd-6^th centuries) into a diasystem, upon which the rhyme tables of Yunjing 韻鏡 are based. From these two sources, this paper internally reconstructs 26 initials of this diasystem, and then reconstructs their pronunciations according to the implicational universal principle. We argue that this inventory reflects the system of initials of Pre-Middle Chinese.
